Radiata Stories

The question that's been going through my mind, is the Tri-Ace developed, Square-Enix published game Radiata Stories anygood? Well.. I own it, so it damn well better be! In all honesty, it's a bit too early to tell, and even though I've played it for more than three hours, I've yet to really get a feel for what they were going for. The battle system is a bit clunky and awkward, not smooth, fluid and pure asskickery like Tri-Ace's last game: Star Ocean 3, the graphics are amazingly beautiful, and yet they trap you on as single walkway, and you can't explore the scenary like you would in Dragon Quest 8, so it seems like a waste.

It's just about 5:00am and I really should be tired, and in fact I really wish I was tired, although I'm stubborn and have refused thusfar to take a sleeping pill, mostly out of spite because last night I took one and slept until 4:30pm, and nothing like sleeping until that late can piss me off more. I guess I could take one and just hope that I don't sleep way too late for my own mental health.

For those of you who use OS X and communicate over the MSN network through one of many IM apps, a fact that stands out is that there is no webcam support, which is very disappointing, because sending webcam can be fun, useful in showing off one's genitals, and good for keeping someone company.

I've been trying to think of an easy to understand way to explain what RSS is, why a normal person would use it, and why, and here's what I've come up with (since the RSS wikipedia entry is so horrible at explaining it).

After eating supper and watching an episode of Criminal Minds, I sat back down and decided to give RSS 2.0 a shot, because RSS 0.9 and Atom feeds didn't quite work as I had hoped. I simply went to a website that used RSS 2.0 for their feed, downloaded their XML file and looked at how they did it.

Why is it so impossible to find information on putting HTML in an RSS feed? I want to use p and br tags, and links and images in my feed, but I can't find anywhere that says how, and I've searched google for 6 or 7 different phrases. Fuck this shit.

I attempted to create an RSS feed for this site, and having no knowledge of the RSS standards, I attempted to read a tutorial, and study other feeds. Turns out there are more than 5 standards (can you even use that word then?).. RSS 0.9, 1, 2, Atom, and it goes on. I tried creating one in both 0.9 and Atom, but both times it wouldn't display HTML correctly, or at all, so I got frustrated and closed all my apps and said fuck it. I'll work on it tomorrow, when I feel like sitting down and actually reading about everything instead of just trying to quickly make one.

Starting last night and going until around 2 to 3pm today, I didn't sleep. I fell asleep watching the Kim Possible movie 'So The Drama" but not because it was boring, but because I was so tired, and eventually woke up at 6pm.
